A IWPEFUL 'BEGIKiVlfni. Justice at least a measure of it has at lasi. overtaken the Standard Oil Company." When it accepted from the Chicago and Alton Railroad a freight rate just one-third of the published rate it was simply pursuing the methods it has followed from the beginning ot its career. It was mainly by secret special rates and rebates that the Standard Company was enabled to compel all ot ler producers of eith crude or refined oil to quit busi ness or to sell out to the Standard on such terms as it chose make. to . For years the independent operators had fruitlessly appeal ed to the transportation compan ies for a fair and open rate on their product. The legislature was appealed to and laws were enacted which,' it was hoped would compel the railways to cease making secret rates and giving rebates. Much , tedious and expensive litigation folbw ed; laws were found defective and unconstitutional. The people amended the constitution of the state so that it in express terms forbade such practices- The railroad companies became "Brood" for several years. The operators, driven to find cheaper transportation had built a pipe line which enabled them to avoid the excessive rates exacted by the railroads. It was not long until the Standard had come in to full control of this line arid ever since then that company has practically controlled the trans portation of oil. , . ; It is a hopeful and reassur ing sign that however great and powerful a monopoly may ; be come, that however long it has defied the laws and robbed the people justice will yec overtake it. ' : The fine imposed by ! Judge Landis, 21) 2 10, 000, .is the maxi mum sum the company could be assessed under the indictment in the case, and while it is a heavy penalty the Standard Company can easily pay it. It is proba ble, however, that an appeal will be taken though it is difficult to see on what grounds it can be based. The whole defense rest ed on the plea that an agent of the Alton railroad company had lei them to believe they were given the open rate. Such a plea is puerile, pitiful and aburd. The judge brushed it aside, and carefully analyzing the whole case, imposed the maximum fine. The government will now prosecute the Chicago and Alton Railroad, which is equally as guilty in making a secret rate as the Standard Company is in ac cepting it. The people are aroused and are determined that the malevolent influence of groat corporations shall he destroyed and they com pelled to obey the laws. It will be done though it involve their dissolution and prison cell for those who organize and direct them. Let the good work go en. POWER OF SENTIMENT. That men are actuated by sentiment rather than reason sounds like a mere platitude, yet it is a sober truth. This might not be deplorable if sentiment were al ways a rational product. Uen miajht then fail to reason until sentiment were formed and at once give themselves up to be guided by it and no great harm would be done. But., much of sentiment is not rational, but silly, absurd and wholly false, yet so plausible, so specious that multitudes are deceived and m:s- led. It is this subtile quality of sentiment which makes it so diffi cult for man to distinguish right, true, noble sentiment 'from that which is wrong, false and de basing. t " - Even right sentiment should not be followed when it leads to irrational action. The federal troops that quietly refused again to charge the confederate works at Cold Harbor after one most bloody repulse were tried vet erans who held the fine senti ments of honor, fidelity, patriot ism, courage and obediencejbe yond price, but they would not permit even these to lure ; them to irrational action and its fearful consequences. Human history is red with the blood of great multitudes who have been slain at the behest of false, unreasonable andunreason ing sentiment. In spite roi this never were grater numbers of men dominated or in danger of being dominated by false and pernicious . sentiment , than at present..., ... , Demagogues-creatures : ; to whom the false; sentiments of men bring food and - raiment and fatness were ' never before so active.' They have mvadedthe church, the press and education al halls.' They pr4te of righteous ness, oi human liberty, oj justice and ... equity, of. wealth . ; and poverty, , of capital and labor, and a , multitude of things, con cerning which they , have but little or ho accurate knowledge. 1 hey need none. 1 heir purpose is to mass men around some per nicious seniment' and to persuade them to be guided and dominat ed by it. Beware of such, crea tures. As safe and rational would be the advice and councils of men who would persuade us that dynamite may be carelessly handled with impunity. : This is not more eertain to bring iis in- jury and death than that to lure us on to fearful ' suffering and ultimate destruction; for hp real, enduring good can 'icome1 by the sway of false sentiment.' Judge Landis appears to have Strong public . endorsement . for fining the Standard Oil Company the paltry sum of $29,240,000. he next thing is to collect.- f It might be wise to allow the judge to Collect it.

The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the . shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal wiih the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the check of its freshness and the form of it3 fairness.
